Mainz and Bayer Leverkusen take on each other at Mewa Arena in what is expected to be one of the most exciting games of Saturday’s program. Mainz aim to bounce back from a massive 4-0 loss to Hamburger SV, but they face yet another difficult task against the BayArena outfit. With Mainz suffering three defeats in the previous four meetings with Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga, home win should not be considered. With Austria international Phillip Mwene failing to impress in the last league match, Nelson Weiper is widely expected to return to the starting XI.
Die Schwarzroten, on the other hand, were showing signs of improvement before the international break, with the team recording back-to-back wins over St. Pauli and Union Berlin. Given Mainz’s shaky defence, we predict that the visitors are going to pick up all three points from the match. The good news for the away team is that Alejandro Grimaldo has overcome his minor injury.
This Bundesliga match will be played on Saturday 18 October 2025 at 14:30.
